@Anonymous Climbing in your windows and snatching your things up, so you better hide yo’ laptop, hide yo’ iPhone
@funny shit a black guy jacks a laptop from a chimney and we go apeshit, posting his pic everywhere. he never hit anyone.
elite institutions steal from us every day and nobody gives a fuck.
@kinda creepy I know it’s for safety, but…does Columbia have cameras everywhere? How was this photo taken on 112th st if it wasn’t a dorm?
@... yes. everywhere. that queasy feeling in your gut? it’s a high tech colonoscopy. public safety is looking high and low, inside and out, for our friend, mr. thief.
why would such a terrible thing happen? obviously someone didn’t get the memo about not rolling on shabbat…
@Anonymous there are a number of grad student apartments along W 112th
@The Bayit …is a Columbia owned building
@Actually Actually keep a lookout for this guy. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure this guy asked me for money a few days ago, saying that he needed it for his daughter. He prefaced this by telling me that he wasn’t there to rob me, or to take my iPhone. Plus, that jacket looks very familiar – I feel like I see this guy around campus often.
@Anonymous Cutting edge…? This method is pretty tried and true. Why do you think most windows along fire escapes have gates? You guys gotta get out of Morningside more often.
@more than i could do... how the fuck did that guy climb a fire escape?
@spiderman, spiderman does whatever a spider can
@AHAHAHAHAHAHA These bums are finding state-of-the-art, cutting edge ways to infiltrate student dorms and steal your shit. I don’t know whether to feel amazed or sad.
